RSHS Newsletter, Term 2 Issue 5

Ngā mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa, warm greetings to you all.

Semester Two has officially started and it is fantastic to see our school buzzing with enthusiastic and energetic learning. We want our students to reignite their love for learning, to revisit their passions and interests and to delve deep into the areas and subjects they are exploring. Sometimes our students become overly focussed on assessment and whilst qualifications are an important aspect of our journey here at RSHS, it is only one area where we want to challenge our students to learn through.

At Rototuna High Schools, we love that our students can 'walk' in many different pairs of shoes.  The shoes that they 'travel' in should be ones that they select themselves.  Look at what was at our front door this morning from our Primary Industry students.

Thank you to all of our families who attended our whānau conferences online. Under Level 2 restrictions it was always going to be difficult to have people visit school site. We were able to continue this important step in our review and reporting of student progress by going online for the conferences. Whilst this is ideally not how we want to meet, we felt it important to continue our relationship together to ensure your perspectives as family are listened to and heard. In the future we will not be doing all whanau conferences online.

It really is nice to be back into the swing of things here at RSHS.

Ngā mihi

Natasha
